   It's in the CNO's FAQ section about the CPNRE: FAQs: Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination

   sdg13 replied to futureNP95's topic in CRNE

   I think they are sending the results to your inbox on the CNO website this time.

4. RPN New Grads in Ontario and Orientation

   sdg13 replied to nurse2bsydnie's topic in Canada

   At the hospital where I'm employed, we have one week of corporate orientation, one week of interprofessional orientation, and then 4 buddy shifts with another RPN on your specific unit.

5. CPNRE January 2017 Results!!

   sdg13 replied to vis14ndreamz's topic in CRNE

   I was told by one of our instructors that the passing score for the exam is 67% or above and that's why it's 67% for our program. I sincerely doubt the average score is only 68%.

6. Nipissing RPN-BScN part time

   sdg13 replied to OttawaRPN/RN2B's topic in CA Programs

   Hey, Ottawa RPN/RN2B! You say it's "a lot of work." What type of work? Is there a lot of homework or paper writing? Studying chapters and doing exams? Are exams online or in person somewhere and proctored? How does the clinical portion work? S...

7. Nursing student in US, but want to work in Canada

   sdg13 replied to ksics's topic in Canada

   If you are still 2 years away from your associate degree in the US, sounds like you still have at least 3-4 years to go anyway to get a BSN. I suggest to apply to BScN programs in Ontario. That way, you are guaranteed to be eligible to take the NCL...

8. Obstetrics or mental health placement? (male nursing student)

   sdg13 replied to Anon101's topic in Canada

   I understand that some women don't want a male caregiver, but many of us women (yes, I'm a woman, so I'm not sure what you meant by that last line) don't judge healthcare providers, or anyone for that matter, on gender. It's not a good idea to tell ...

9. U.S. educated RN coming to Ontario, Canada

   sdg13 replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

   On a positive note, one of the ladies I know from the forum is a US trained BScN RN and she was approved by the CNO with no problems and had 3 different job offers to choose from within weeks of getting her permanent residency! She lives in Ottawa I...

10. U.S. educated RN coming to Ontario, Canada

    sdg13 replied to ZB-RN's topic in Canada

    You can start the process with the CNO before you have permission to work in Canada. The process takes a long time. They completed my entire assessment before I ever had permanent residency and never once asked for it or a work permit. Now, if the...

11. Obstetrics or mental health placement? (male nursing student)

    sdg13 replied to Anon101's topic in Canada

    I know it happens, but I find it quite strange considering the number of male OB/GYNs there are in practice.

12. BSN Fall 2016 all schools

    sdg13 replied to Beexo's topic in CA Programs

    I'm wait listed for the St. Lawrence College/Laurentian University collaborative program in Kingston. I really hope I can get off the wait list! My admissions adviser keeps saying she is very optimistic about it. As a back up though, I've accepted...

13. Australian living in Canada for 6 months every 3 years

    sdg13 replied to MelbAusNurse's topic in Canada

    If you've been living together for more than one year, you can go ahead and start the process for permanent residency. The only catch is, whether you are married or not, you have to prove to CIC that you intend to move back to Canada right now and i...

14. St. Lawrence/Laurentian BScN

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in CA Programs

    Yes, I took the offer for the practical nursing just in case. I wish I had more options than just Kingston, but as a mature student, I have a husband, kids, and a house here and can't pack up and move to another city. Kingston is a nice town thou...

15. St. Lawrence/Laurentian BScN

    sdg13 replied to sdg13's topic in CA Programs

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I've only applied to Kingston campus. I just found out I got into the practical nursing program and wait listed for the BScN program! I really want the BScN, but the admissions adviser said she is really optimistic ...
